Charlie Chaloosy is Often Quite Choosy

Meet Charlie Chaloosy, a boy who avoids strange foods or breaking routine. But when he opens up to a new friend, Charlie discovers the thrill of trying new things. Join him on a journey of bravery and fun, and be inspired to step out of your comfort zone. In the first book of Charlie Chaloosy’s Adventures, embrace the excitement that comes with taking risks—you never know what kind of joy awaits!

My passion for children's literature stems from 30+ years in education and my re-entry into bedtime stories with the addition of my beautiful grandchildren. I created Charlie as a means for children to learn with Charlie by having a growth mindset when it comes to facing new experiences and learning new things. Children live in a world that is traveling ever faster and my desire is to help them slow down and enjoy childhood through the adventures of CharlieChaloosy. I hope children have fun with Charlie while engaging their minds through stories that encourage them to read, write, illustrate, and dream a little.
